Zhakirah Bibi, NCPS

Zhakirah Bibi helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem and career or coaching concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. Zhakirah works with adults who are navigating life changes and seeking more confidence and motivation.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can share thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as exploring patterns that affect emotions and behaviour. Zhakirah uses calm, direct listening to help clients make sense of what they are experiencing.

Zhakirah combines several therapeutic styles to meet individual needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centred principles to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking, alongside mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. Zhakirah helps set small, achievable goals and reviews progress together. She offers practical tools to use between sessions as well as space to reflect during appointments.

She holds the NCPS credential and has six years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Before booking, people are advised to confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns in close relationships and build clearer, more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgement and supports clients to find their own solutions, which can be especially useful for building self-esteem and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful, tailor techniques to each person’s needs, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This collaborative process helps match methods to goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caregiving routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits, or conversations where being on camera is optional. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options and scheduling before booking to ensure they meet practical needs and preferences.
